"Peace of us means the destruction of Israel.
We are preparing for an all out war, a war which will last for generations.

~Yasser Arafat~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Throughout his authorized biography (Alan Hart, Arafat: terrorist or peace maker) Arafat asserts at least a dozen times: "The Palestinian people have no national identity. I, Yasser Arafat, man of destiny, will give them that identity through conflict with Israel."

~ Yasser Arafat ~

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel. For our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of Palestinian people, since Arab national interest demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism".

The Jewish New Year is upon us and with it a number of predictions, coming surprisingly from the mouths of rabbis specializing in 'kosher' mysticism. Among prophecies issued are the collapse of empires, the death of a non-Jewish leader, and the flourishing of Israel's economy.

"God will cleanse the world and erase China from the world this year, and there will be rough winds there," Nir Ben-Artzi, a local kabbalist rabbi, told a conference on Yom Kippur held in Telamim.

Europe and the US would also "fall apart", he said, adding, "The earth is tired of the impurity in the world and that is why there will be earthquakes."

Ben-Artzi, who is considered by his followers to have supernatural powers, also had optimistic tidings for his audience, but only where Jews were concerned.

"There will be no end to the realty in Israel. The state will grow as we push Syria and Jordan aside. Israel will be the richest country in the world in money and in spirit," he said. "Though it sounds deluded, the messiah will reveal himself in these days."

Rabbi Mordechai Ganot, who is slightly more accepted among mainstream haredim, also voiced his predictions. He is considered a top specialist in astronomy, despite never having taken an academic course on the subject.

'Davar Be'ito' (Everything in its Time), the popular calendar he produces, portrays scientific maps of the sky and the planetary orbits. With it he predicted that a leader would die this Jewish year.

"If a lunar eclipse occurs in the month of Sivan, in the summer, then a great gentile king will die and another rise instead, and there will be a great confusion between them," he quoted from an ancient text. "It is entirely probable that his death will be preceded by an earthquake. It is hinted in a biblical verse."

Computer virus dubbed 'Chernobyl'
A solar eclipse is expected in the month of Tevet, just two days ahead of Shvat, but despite the fact that the calculations are off by two days he warned, "If the sun is eclipsed in Shvat, great confusion will come on the world , and from the side on which the eclipse begins there will be evil in the world and the highest mountains will be destroyed."

But not to worry, there are also scenarios that can be prepared for. The rabbi says that on the 22nd of the month of Nissan, in the spring, humanity must beware of a computer virus dubbed 'Chernobyl', because that day, according to the Gregorian calendar, is the anniversary of the nuclear disaster that occurred there, and this will spark a global hacking spree.

In Tammuz, which falls around summertime, Rabbi Ganot's calendar predicts that "giant jellyfish" will invade the shores of Israel and endanger bathers.

Lastly, in the months of Tevet and Shvat the rabbi recommends refraining from slaughtering geese "because at the time of slaughter, the angel of geese has permission to harm the slaughterer".

More Quotes About "Palestine"

"There is no such country as Palestine. 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented. There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria. 'Palestine' is alien to us. It is the Zionists who introduced it".

"It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but Southern Syria".

- Representant of Saudi Arabia at the United Nations, 1956 -

Concerning the Holy Land, the chairman of the Syrian Delegation at the Paris Peace Conference in February 1919 stated:

"The only Arab domination since the Conquest in 635 c.e. hardly lasted, as such, 22 years".

"There is not a solitary village throughout its whole extent (valley of Jezreel, Galilea); not for thirty miles in either direction... One may ride ten miles hereabouts and not see ten human beings. For the sort of solitude to make one dreary, come to Galilee... Nazareth is forlorn... Jericho lies a mouldering ruin... Bethlehem and Bethany, in their poverty and humiliation... untenanted by any living creature... A desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds... a silent, mournful expanse... a desolation... We never saw a human being on the whole route... Hardly a tree or shrub anywhere. Even the olive tree and the cactus, those fast friends of a worthless soil had almost deserted the country... Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes... desolate and unlovely...".

- Mark Twain, "The Innocents Abroad", 1867 -

"In 1590 a 'simple English visitor' to Jerusalem wrote: 'Nothing there is to bescene but a little of the old walls, which is yet remayning and all the rest is grasse, mosse and weedes much like to a piece of rank or moist grounde'.".

"The land in Palestine is lacking in people to till its fertile soil".

"The Arabs themselves cannot be considered but temporary residents. They pitched their tents in its grazing fields or built their places of refuge in its ruined cities. They created nothing in it. Since they were strangers to the land, they never became its masters. The desert wind that brought them hither could one day carry them away without their leaving behind them any sign of their passage through it".

"Then we entered the hill district, and our path lay through the clattering bed of an ancient stream, whose brawling waters have rolled away into the past, along with the fierce and turbulent race who once inhabited these savage hills. There may have been cultivation here two thousand years ago. The mountains, or huge stony mounds environing this rough path, have level ridges all the way up to their summits; on these parallel ledges there is still some verdure and soil: when water flowed here, and the country was thronged with that extraordinary population, which, according to the Sacred Histories, was crowded into the region, these mountain steps may have been gardens and vineyards, such as we see now thriving along the hills of the Rhine. Now the district is quite deserted, and you ride among what seem to be so many petrified waterfalls. We saw no animals moving among the stony brakes; scarcely even a dozen little birds in the whole course of the ride".

"The country is in a considerable degree empty of inhabitants and therefore its greatest need is of a body of population".

- James Finn, British Consul in 1857 -

"The area was underpopulated and remained economically stagnant until the arrival of the first Zionist pioneers in the 1880's, who came to rebuild the Jewish land. The country had remained "The Holy Land" in the religious and historic consciousness of mankind, which associated it with the Bible and the history of the Jewish people. Jewish development of the country also attracted large numbers of other immigrants - both Jewish and Arab. The road leading from Gaza to the north was only a summer track suitable for transport by camels and carts... Houses were all of mud. No windows were anywhere to be seen... The plows used were of wood... The yields were very poor... The sanitary conditions in the village [Yabna] were horrible... Schools did not exist... The rate of infant mortality was very high... The western part, toward the sea, was almost a desert... The villages in this area were few and thinly populated. Many ruins of villages were scattered over the area, as owing to the prevalence of malaria, many villages were deserted by their inhabitants".
